TITAN Up again, Is it time to go LONG?

Be Careful on the Short Side Because Sometimes Wall Street Obviously Doesn't care about Fundamentals

A weekly close > 5-week MMA of $12.93 targets the 200-week SMA of $19.68

Based on Fundamentals, Titan Machinery is a very overpriced stock. extremely overpriced.

But yesterday the shares were up 20% closing at $12.39 after reporting a mere $6,000 in net income.

A friend of mine tried to short the stock and informed me that there was "NO BORROW AVAILABLE" , which could explain the shares surging higher.

today the stock is up another 5% trading in the $13 range.

With the Mutual Funds owning 85% of the shares outstanding as of June 30,2015 according to Morningstar it appears that the small float and high short interest in the stock are creating a #shortsqueeze.
